Overview

Every pharmacovigilance function will, at one time or another, undergo governmental or health authority inspections as well as audits by license partners, internal auditors and others. The course will teach you how to prepare for an audit/inspection from the time of the receipt of the announcement (or of the arrival of the inspectors at your doorstep) to the conclusion of the audit or inspection.

What participants from previous courses say:

"The instructor was very communicative, engaged the audience to share experience and was answering any question or finding any solution"
"All sessions were interesting and the information provided was really beneficial and useful. Also the interactive sessions, experience sharing and answers to targeted questions were very useful. Most comprehensive I find the preparation for audits part"
